You can try the old 173.14 nvidia driver, which is working perfectly om my old 
nvidia 5700 ultra on my desktop pc.

There is no need, to use the latest 18x.xx drivers, as the new features are 
not supported by old cards. Of course, you should use xserver-xorg 7.3, as it 
depends on it. The newer xserver-xorg 7.4 got also festures, your card does 
not support, and so it is no need to upgrade to 7.4.

Good luck!
